Second Grade Math Problem Solving

Students spent a lot of time this week on skill practice apps and not as much time on creating. They are also working on a creation project that is spanning 3 weeks, so look for that before our December break. One project they did email on to their Posterous accounts was math problem solving. They were given a word problem describing a situation in which they needed to add 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. Students had their choice of apps (Educreations, Chalk, DrawingPad). I am pleased to say they all showed work and they all reached the same correct answer. Here is the most colorful sample, using DrawingPad.
